A Photoshopping Magazine Startup Corporation

[kaptainmyke]

The premise is simple, my website, www.broke-off.com and the magazine will co-exist to produce a monthly, 86 page, full-color National photoshopping parody magazine.

View www.broke-off.com and take note of our new logo. I hope this will do the trick, later I am going to apply for several trademarks and copyrights to further protect our creative ideas and publications. You'll see some of the articles and photoshops there on the front page. Registration is free, sign up if you want and get a username and password.


Click here to see a brief summary of the magazine and some layout: http://www.broke-off.com/subscribe.htm Nothing is final, alot of this is in the preliminary stages of design and editorial content. Here is an ad rate sheet for advertisers to contact me and pay me to place an ad in the magazine - this is how magazines make their money: http://www.broke-off.com/adrates.htm By the way, all those prices are extremely low-balled since I am a newcomer and new magazine idea. 70% magazines have a postitive turn-around. The first 3 years of business is a LOSS, they normally do not see profits until year 4 or 5 - This is why investments and capital will need to be funded for the first 3 years of business to survive and "stay" in business. This is a norm for this industry I am finding as I do research on this.


Here are some scaled down full-color examples for you to look at: http://forums.broke-off.com/index.php?showtopic=5686 Click to view.


So far I am in the process of making issue #1, all 86 pages with ads made either copied or borrowed - and then I'm going to find a good lawyer to give me advice on copyrights, infringement, and legalities of using other's images. I have found that due to the first ammendment freedom of speech in the US Constitution, and the " Fair Use" act as long as everything is altered or done in parody or satire - it's legal. I've been reading and studying court cases that document this. Maybe you could give me some insight? or ask around? Here is our confidentiality agreement form: http://forums.broke-off.com/index.php?download=14 for download.




Keep in mind, with my photoshopping and graphics talent on the computer - if I can legally pull this off, the controversy alone and uncompetitive market for such a magazine will make advertisers and publishers beg me for business. I've already been approached by 2 printing companies that agreed to only charge for printing if they let me be the next "big thing" with their publication company name tacked onto it.

This could be huge - but I got a long way to still.
